Comment Re:Fuck China (Score 1) 136

So the USA puts by tomorrow, 100% tariffs on Chinese goods. That means Americans' buying power with respect to what they can purchase from China, is halved. For all other countries at 50% it is one third. America can't buy as much. Just like the buying power of third world countries. Anyway, China won't care, there are over six billion people in all the other countries outside of China and the USA. And eventually when the American dollar goes low enough, all those countries will switch to using the Euro as the standard. Then the USA will be the banana republic you MAGA types have always wanted. You're number 85.

Comment Encourage People Never Go More Than 20km From Home (Score -1) 239

And then we can have a different language every 100kms, or accents that are so different we might not understand them. So cool to fragment the world again on the pillar of killing cars. Now we have ICE cars. What will the idiots excuse be for when there are all EVs or H2 cars (shut up EV fucktards, they won't work in the third world there isn't enough electric infrastructure, try actually following what's going on and see the hundreds of billions ongoing into H2 in the third world). I'll guarantee these numbskulls will make up some other stupid reason to fragment society. Modern transportation made the world smaller, and helped educate people by way of learning about people elsewhere whenever they feel like driving. It's almost like the sheep are being led to the slaughter by creating a world where the disconnected people are easier to control.

Comment All his BS is to raise funds for this (Score 2, Insightful) 278

He wants to make tons of money to fund SpaceX and go to Mars. I hope this happens sooner rather than later to show people Mars isn't viable for long term survival. Speaking of which, I hope he's on one of the first trips to demonstrate that. We've evolved for 1g gravity and 24 hour days. Those issues alone will screw up human biology a ton. Then there is the fact there is no geomagnetic field around Mars, so no protection from solar wind. That means two things, dangerously irradiated on the surface, and no chance to rebuild an atmosphere (as much lower gravity and stripping of atmosphere by solar winds are the blockers). Pie in the sky dream, push high metal asteroids into orbit around Mars to form a moon big enough to create crust flexing on Mars to warm up the interior by friction. Maybe that would melt the interior enough to get a rotating core to generate a magnetic field. Wake me up in a million years when that's ready.

Comment Would be On Linux By Now Except for Snap/Flatpack (Score 1) 152

Comment title says it all. Being force-fed shit by one large company is no different than being force-fed turds by another. Don't talk to me about fringe shit distros, I'm tired of having to fix shit all the fucking time. I just want to use the machine. Snap means not having a standard unified environment for doing work on, when every package has it's own version of required libraries. Never mind resource waste. Honestly, I'll stick with Windows or Apple even though I would like to switch to Linux. I learned how to program on Unix and did it professionally for a long time, so don't presume you know more than me about *nix systems.
